Not as far as I know (I didn't cause the problem, I only fixed it
later, so I'm relying on the report of the person who ticked the
problem to understand what happened).  It was definitely on a user
column, and IIRC it was a two-field unique index.  My memory is hazy
on it, though -- I didn't report it because it wasn't a system I
could leave in that state for debugging.
